Hey Everyone,
  This is not really a Tip but a solution to a compatibility issue 
between SVN and SSH that users might face while updating their system.

I recently upgraded SSH on my system. SSH v 4.3 is the latest version 
available using apt-get but the latest version available is 4.6p1 so I 
downloaded the source and compiled it for my system (after uninstalling 
the original package).

After this I tried using SVN to download the LG repositories to my local 
system. It downloaded the files successfully but I kept getting the 
following error message multiple times on the screen:

Killed by signal 15

Did some research and found that the SVN version installed on my system 
(Ver 1.4.2) had a few compatibility issues with the latest version of 
SSH. The latest version available in the apt-get repositories is 1.4.2 
while the latest version available is 1.4.3. So I compiled and installed 
the latest version from the source (After removing the original version) 
and after that the error was fixed.

So if you are installing SSH from source, you should also install SVN 
from source.

Hope this helps someone.
